We are delighted to announce that our next production is Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Shakespeare’s most joyful comedy sails into Bradford this season as the Bradfordians Dramatic Society presents Twelfth Night.
Shipwrecks, secret identities, glorious misunderstandings and hopelessly tangled love affairs collide in Illyria, where nobody is quite what they seem. As Viola disguises herself as a man to survive in a strange new land, chaos unfolds in one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most heartfelt plays.
In a playful twist inspired by the spirit of disguise at the heart of the story, all male roles in this production will be performed by women, and all female roles will be performed by men. The result is a lively, topsy-turvy celebration of comedy, confusion and theatrical tradition that promises laughter, music and plenty of surprises along the way.
Whether you’re a lifelong Shakespeare fan or simply looking for a brilliant night out, Twelfth Night offers wit, warmth and wonderfully outrageous entertainment for all.
Box Office will be going live soon so get ready to book your tickets and join us in Illyria… where nothing is quite as it appears. 🎭

This was a really good piece of theatre in a setting that suited the genre. All the main characters were strong, and ably supported by a chorus that was well rehearsed and bound the story together.

The whole production was beautifully crafted and thought through. You managed to create this stage adaptation without missing any of the main action or losing the feel of the book. It was so absorbing.

This was a well thought-out, well executed, thoughtful and funny production with some delightful on-stage performances.With an unusual but innovative set and approach, you were able to get your messages across, whilst still ensuring everyone left entertained and upbeat. Congratulations to everyone involved in the production.

Your trust in the story and consequent conviction in characterisation resulted in an unaffected, charming and powerful retelling of Tom and Willie's relationship.Tom's final line was delivered with an impactful sense of understatement that reflected the tenor of the whole show. I don't think I was the only one with tears streaming down my face at the end.
Rose Bowl adjudication, Rebecca Thompson
I understand this was a sell-out production and it certainly deserved to be. It was a delightful afternoon's entertainment and the perfect introduction to the theatre for children. Everyone around me in the audience was engaged throughout and eager to join in when invited to do so. Many congratulations to all concerned!
NODA adjudication, Delia Lee
